Owens & Minor, Inc. and subsidiaries (we, us, or our) is a Fortune 500 company providing distribution, third-party logistics, and other supply-chain management services to healthcare providers
and suppliers of medical and surgical products, and is a leading national distributor of medical and surgical supplies to the acute-care market in the United States. In the European market, the company has a leading position as a provider of
third-party logistics (3PL) services to manufacturers and suppliers of healthcare and life-science products. The description of our business should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and supplementary data
included in this Form 10-K.

Our company was founded in 1882 and incorporated in 1926 in Richmond, Virginia, as a wholesale
drug company. Since 1992, when we sold the wholesale drug division, our operations in the United States have been focused on medical and surgical supply distribution and other supply-chain management services. We have significantly expanded and
strengthened our national presence through organic growth and acquisitions. Our OM HealthCare Logistics (OM HCL) third-party logistics service was launched in 2010 and began offering transportation, warehousing and order-to-cash services to
manufacturers. On August 31, 2012, we acquired the Movianto Group (Movianto), an established European third-party-logistics provider, for approximately $157 million. For the fourth quarter of 2012, which was the first quarter that our
consolidated financial results included a full three months of Moviantos financial results, Movianto represented 5.5% of our consolidated revenue.

Our core domestic business consists of the distribution of finished medical and surgical products, including our private label line, to approximately 3,600 healthcare providers in the United States,
primarily to the acute-care market. We procure these products from nearly 1,300 suppliers and distribute from 48 distribution centers nationwide. In late 2011, we established a sourcing unit in China that conducts sourcing activities, quality
assurance, logistics and transportation of products for our private label line. In serving customers, we also provide a range of data analysis tools and outsourced resource management and consulting services, such as inventory, supply spending and
contract management, as well as low-unit-of-measure shipments and tailored deliveries. In certain cases, we also perform distribution and supply-chain management services on an outsourced basis from facilities that are owned by customers. We
typically provide distribution and supply-chain management services under contractual arrangements of varying lengths and terms with hospitals, hospital-based systems, large integrated healthcare networks, and alternate-site providers. The majority
of our revenue is derived from the distribution of consumable medical and surgical goods to these healthcare providers. In addition, we enter into fee-based service contracts of varying lengths and terms to provide consulting and outsourcing
services to the healthcare market.

We began reporting Domestic and International business segments in 2012 following the
acquisition of Movianto. The Domestic segment includes all services in the United States relating to our role as a medical supply logistics company serving healthcare providers and manufacturers. The International segment includes Movianto, our
European third-party logistics service. Financial information by segment and geographic area beginning with the acquisition of Movianto in 2012 appears in Note 20, Segment Information, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this annual report.

The Domestic Segment

The Healthcare Supply Distribution Industry in the United States

In the
healthcare supply distribution industry in the United States, distributors of medical and surgical supplies provide a wide variety of products and services to healthcare providers which include hospitals, hospital-based systems and alternate-site
providers. Distributors contract with healthcare providers directly and through group purchasing organizations (GPOs) that negotiate distribution contracts on behalf of their members. Distributors also serve suppliers by selling and distributing
suppliers medical and surgical products and by providing a wide range of other value-added services, including warehousing, handling returns and recalls, and management of accounts receivable.

Healthcare distribution in the United States is dependent on utilization of medical/surgical procedures by consumers, which in turn may
be affected by the condition of the domestic economy. Healthcare spending continues to represent a significant percentage of the United States gross domestic product, and an aging population is expected to consume an increasing amount of
healthcare services. The healthcare distribution industry is also experiencing growing demand from healthcare providers and suppliers focused on improving the management of their supply-chain operations. Healthcare providers and suppliers rely on
strategic relationships with national medical and surgical supply distributors to perform warehousing and delivery functions, as well as to provide effective supply-chain management solutions.

Consolidation trends in the overall United States healthcare market, including acquisitions of physicians practices and ambulatory
surgery centers by integrated healthcare networks (IHNs), have led to the creation of larger and more sophisticated healthcare providers, which increasingly seek methods to lower the total cost of delivering healthcare services. These healthcare
providers face a variety of financial challenges, including managing the cost of purchasing, receiving, storing and tracking medical

and surgical supplies. These market trends have also driven significant consolidation within the healthcare supply distribution industry due to the competitive advantages enjoyed by larger
distributors. These advantages include, among other things, the ability to serve customers in widespread geographic locations, buy inventory in large volume, develop technology platforms and decision-support systems and provide expertise to
healthcare providers and suppliers to help reduce supply chain costs.

The Healthcare Supply Distribution Business Model in the United
States

Through our distribution model in the United States, we purchase a large volume of medical and surgical products
from suppliers, store these items at our distribution centers, and provide delivery of these products and related services to healthcare providers. In order to support our private label line of products, we also operate a sourcing joint venture in
Shanghai, China that conducts sourcing activities, quality assurance, logistics and transportation of these products to our distribution centers.

We have 48 distribution centers located throughout the continental United States that generally serve hospitals and healthcare providers within a 200-mile radius, delivering most supplies with a fleet of
leased trucks. Almost all of our delivery personnel are our employees, thereby ensuring the consistency of customer service. Contract carriers and parcel services are used in situations where they are more cost-effective and timely, including for OM
HCL. We customize our product deliveries, whether the orders are just-in-time, low-unit-of-measure, pallets, or truckloads, and we also customize delivery schedules according to customers needs, to increase their
efficiency in receiving and storing the product. Sales, logistics, credit management and operations teammates are located regionally and, in some cases, locally, to manage service to customers. In certain of our larger distribution centers,
we utilize automation equipment in low-unit-of-measure picking modules, and our distribution centers have voice-pick technology which enhances speed and accuracy in certain warehousing processes.

Our OM SolutionsSM team provides outsourced resource management and fee-based consulting services, which make use of our proprietary
supply-chain management programs and technologies, to acute-care providers. OM Solutions deploys experienced analysts and project managers to provide these services under structured but customizable programs that are designed to improve the
providers supply chain through more efficient management of inventory, supply spending and supply chain processes.

Our domestic supply-chain management offerings are supported by a significant investment in information technology infrastructure and services. We use a variety of software and information technology
systems to support our business needs and efficiently manage our business growth, including warehouse management systems, customer service functions, and demand forecasting programs. We employ a number of customer-facing technology solutions,
including OMDirectSM, an Internet-based product catalog
and direct ordering system that facilitates commerce with customers and suppliers. We also provide a tablet-based ordering application for use by our physician-practice customers to place their typically smaller orders.

PANDACSM is an operating room-focused inventory management program that helps healthcare providers manage suture and endo-mechanical inventory. We provide detailed analysis and ongoing reporting which enables
customers to decrease redundancy and obsolescence and increase inventory turns, which in turn reduces investment in these high-cost products.



SurgiTrack® is
a customizable surgical supply service that includes the assembly and delivery of surgical supplies in procedure-based totes, based on a healthcare providers surgical schedule. The SurgiTrack program also provides in-depth analysis designed to
enable healthcare providers to standardize products used in procedures, reduce inventory and streamline workflow.

OM HCL is an offering of customized third-party logistics and order-to-cash services, primarily marketed to suppliers of medical devices and life
science companies. This business model provides flexible warehousing and distribution services to meet unique product requirements. OM HCL provides full order-to-cash services, including reverse logistics and value-added services. The two logistics
centers dedicated to OM HCL are state-of-the art facilities that are strategically positioned in central and western locations of the United States. OM HCLs services are enabled by sophisticated supply-chain management software and technology.

Domestic Segment Customers

We currently provide distribution, outsourced resource management and/or consulting services to approximately 3,600 healthcare providers in the United States, primarily hospitals in the acute-care market.
Many of the hospital customers are represented by IHNs or GPOs that negotiate pricing with suppliers and also contract for distribution services with us. We also serve the federal government, including the U.S. Department of Defense, as a prime
vendor for medical and surgical supply distribution services. On a more limited basis, we serve alternate-site providers, including ambulatory surgery centers, physicians practices, clinics, home healthcare organizations, nursing homes and
rehabilitation facilities. We also provide distribution and supply-chain management services, including third-party logistics and business process outsourcing services, to suppliers of medical and surgical products.

GPOs and IHNs in the United States

GPOs are entities that act on behalf of a group of healthcare providers to obtain better pricing and other benefits than may be available to individual providers. Hospitals, physicians and other types of
healthcare providers have joined GPOs to take advantage of improved economies of scale and to obtain services from medical and surgical supply distributors ranging from discounted product pricing to logistical and clinical support. GPOs negotiate
directly with medical and surgical product suppliers and distributors on behalf of their members, establishing exclusive or multi-supplier relationships.

In most instances, GPOs enter into distribution agreements with multiple medical/surgical supply distributors which then compete to secure the business of and separately contract with the individual
independent hospital or system members. Accordingly, we have our own independent relationships with most of our hospital customers with separate contractual commitments between us and our customers that may or may not be based upon the terms of our
agreement with the GPO. As a result, the termination or expiration of an agreement with a particular GPO would not necessarily mean that we would lose the members of such GPO as our customers. In addition to our separate contractual and/or business
relationships with these customers, many hospital customers are members of multiple GPOs so, in the event we are not an authorized distributor of one GPO, we could continue to distribute to the customer as an authorized distributor of another GPO.

We have contracts to provide distribution services to the members of a number of national GPOs, including Novation, LLC
(Novation), MedAssets Inc. (MedAssets) and its subsidiary Broadlane, Inc. (Broadlane), and Premier Purchasing Partners, L.P. (Premier). Our agreement with MedAssets and Broadlane expires in August 2013.

Effective September 1, 2012, we entered into a new distribution agreement with Novation that replaced our previous distribution
agreement with them. The new agreement continues our status as an authorized distributor for Novations member healthcare facilities, allowing us to compete with other authorized distributors to secure individual member business, which is
typically accomplished through individual contract arrangements with the member healthcare facilities. The new agreement has a five-year term with two one-year renewal options. Sales to Novation members represented approximately 33% of our revenue
in 2012. In addition, we entered into a new three-year agreement with Premier effective January 1, 2013. Sales to Premier members represented approximately 22% of our revenue in 2012. MedAssets and Broadlane, together, represented approximately 24%
of our revenue in 2012.

IHNs are typically networks of commonly owned or managed healthcare providers that seek to offer a
broad spectrum of healthcare services and geographic coverage to a particular market. IHNs are significant in the acute-care market because of their expanding role in healthcare delivery and cost containment and their reliance upon the hospital as a
key component of their organizations. Because IHNs frequently rely on cost containment as a competitive advantage, IHNs have become an important source of demand for our enhanced inventory management and other value-added services.

In addition to contracting with healthcare providers at the IHN level and through GPOs, we contract directly with individual healthcare
providers, including surgery centers and physicians practices, and smaller networks of healthcare providers that have joined together to negotiate terms.

Domestic Segment Sales and Marketing

Our sales and marketing organization
in the United States is built to support a broad customer base with sales and service teams positioned within the markets we serve so that we can effectively respond to local needs. Enterprise sales and national account teams support IHNs and GPOs,
helping to coordinate our multifaceted engagements and implement our service offerings consistently across their network or membership. Our integrated marketing strategy centers around six areas of value-added supply-chain services, including
supplier management, distribution and logistics, analytics, outsourced resource management, consulting, and clinical supply management.

Domestic Segment Pricing

Industry practice in the United States is for healthcare providers, or their IHNs or GPOs, to negotiate product pricing directly with
suppliers and then negotiate distribution pricing terms with distributors. The medical/surgical supply distribution industry is characterized by pressure on product and distribution pricing. The majority of our distribution arrangements compensate
us on a cost-plus percentage basis, under which a negotiated percentage distribution fee is added to the contract cost agreed to by the customer and the supplier. The determination of this percentage distribution fee is typically based on purchase
volume, as well as other factors, and usually remains constant for the life of the contract. In many cases, distribution contracts in the medical/surgical supply industry specify a minimum volume of product to be purchased and are terminable by
either party upon relatively short notice.

In some cases, we may offer pricing that varies during the life of the contract
depending upon purchase volume, and, as a result, the negotiated percentage distribution fee may increase or decrease over time as purchase volumes change. Under these contracts, customers percentage distribution fees may be reset after a
measurement period to either more or less favorable pricing based on significant changes in purchase volume. If a customers percentage distribution fee is adjusted, the modified percentage distribution fee applies only to purchases made
following the change. Because customers sales volumes typically change gradually, changes in percentage distribution fees for individual customers under this type of arrangement have an insignificant effect on total company results.

Pricing under our CostTrackSM activity-based pricing model differs from pricing under a cost-plus model. With CostTrack, the pricing of services is
based on our cost of providing the services required by the customer. As a result, this pricing model aligns distribution fees charged with the costs of the individual services provided.

OM Solutions pricing is based on professional rates and costs of managing and providing staffing to perform specific
services. Additionally, pricing for technology services is based on the structure and complexity of the customer engagement, including spending level and number of contracts, system interfaces and facilities. We have contracts for OM Solutions and
other supply-chain management services which include performance targets related to cost-saving initiatives for customers that result from our services. Achievement against these performance targets is measured as determined by contractual terms. In
the event the performance targets are not achieved, we may be obligated to refund or reduce a portion of our fees, or to provide a credit toward future purchases by the customer. When performance targets are achieved, we may be entitled to
additional fees.

Our distribution contracts with healthcare providers, suppliers and manufacturers, generally include mutual
provisions designed to facilitate targeted efficiencies for our operations and our customers operations. These contractual provisions may include financial and nonfinancial incentives or penalties, or a combination of both, for performance
against targets.

Domestic Segment Suppliers

We offer a variety of supplier programs that benefit our supplier partners, which are designed to increase market share, drive sales growth for their products, or result in operational efficiencies.
Through standardization and consolidation of these suppliers products for sale to our customer base, we strive to provide operational benefits and cost savings throughout the supply chain. Supplier programs, which are generally negotiated on
an annual basis, provide for enhanced levels of support that are aligned with annual supplier objectives and growth goals.

We
have contractual arrangements with suppliers participating in these programs that provide performance-based incentives, as well as cash discounts for prompt payment. Program incentives can be earned on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.

Additionally, we offer U.S.-based customers a private label brand of approximately 2,900 medical and surgical products under
our proprietary MediChoice brand name which provides cost-saving alternatives. We source our MediChoice products from a select group of manufacturers known for their quality and high service levels. Through our offering of both MediChoice products
and branded supplier

products, we offer a comprehensive product portfolio to our customers. In late 2011, we established a joint venture, based in Shanghai, China, with a healthcare products developer and
manufacturer to provide sourcing services for our MediChoice private label offering. We believe that this expansion of our private label sourcing capabilities improves service, quality and value for our customers.

Our domestic 3PL services are targeted directly at suppliers and manufacturers of healthcare, biotech, device and pharmaceutical products
and supplies. Our services to these suppliers and manufacturers include the full range of third party logistics services, providing cost-effective alternatives to self-distribution of vital products.

Sales of products supplied by subsidiaries of Covidien Ltd. accounted for approximately 14% of our revenue for 2012. Sales of products
supplied by Johnson & Johnson Health Care Systems, Inc. were approximately 10% of our revenue for 2012.

Domestic Segment
Information Technology

To support our strategic efforts, we have implemented information systems to manage all aspects of
domestic operations, including order fulfillment, customer service, warehouse and inventory management, asset management, electronic commerce, and financial management. We believe that our investment in technology for the management of operations
provides us with a significant competitive advantage.

We have an agreement with Dell Perot Systems, which expires in December
2014, to outsource our information technology operations. This agreement includes the management and operation of information technology and infrastructure, as well as support, development and enhancement of all key business systems.

Our technology strategy and expenditures focus on customer service, electronic commerce, data warehousing, decision
support, supply-chain management, warehouse management, and sales and marketing programs, as well as significant enhancements to back office systems and overall technology infrastructure. We use electronic commerce technology to conduct business
transactions with customers, suppliers and other trading partners. Our proprietary technology includes the OMDirect Internet order fulfillment system, the WISDOM Gold knowledge management and decision-support system, and the QSightSM clinical inventory management system.

During 2012, we initiated a multi-year, $50 million transformation of our information technology infrastructure in the United States to
improve operational and data management efficiencies and customer service and to reduce future operating expense increases.

Domestic
Segment Asset Management

In the healthcare supply distribution industry, a significant investment in inventory and
accounts receivable is required to meet the rapid delivery requirements of customers and provide high-quality service. As a result, efficient asset management is essential to our profitability. We are focused on effective processes to optimize
inventory and collect accounts receivable.

Inventory

We are focused in our efforts to optimize inventory and continually consolidate products and collaborate with supply-chain partners on
inventory productivity initiatives. When we convert large-scale, multi-state IHN customers to our distribution network, an additional investment in inventory in advance of expected sales is generally required. We actively monitor inventory for
obsolescence and use inventory turnover and other operational metrics to measure our performance in managing inventory.

Accounts Receivable

We provide credit in the normal course of business to our domestic customers and utilize credit management techniques to evaluate customers creditworthiness and to facilitate collection. These
techniques include performing initial and ongoing credit evaluations of customers based primarily on financial information provided by them and from sources available to the general public. As part of credit evaluations, we also use third-party
information from sources such as credit reporting agencies, as well as bank and credit references. We actively manage our accounts receivable to minimize credit risk, days sales outstanding (DSO) and accounts receivable carrying costs. Field and
home office specialists work together in collecting accounts receivable and resolving disputed balances. Our ability to properly invoice and ship product to customers enhances our collection results and, accordingly, our DSO performance. Also, we
have arrangements with certain customers under which they make deposits on account, either because they do not meet our standards for creditworthiness or in order to obtain more favorable pricing.

The medical/surgical supply distribution industry in the United States is highly competitive. The sector includes: two major nationwide distributors, Owens & Minor, Inc. and Cardinal Health,
Inc.; Medline, Inc., a privately-held national distributor; and a number of regional and local distributors; as well as customer self-distribution models.

Competitive factors within the medical/surgical supply distribution industry include market pricing, total delivered product cost, product availability, the ability to fill and invoice orders accurately,
delivery time, range of services provided, efficient product sourcing, inventory management, information technology, electronic commerce capabilities, and the ability to meet customer-specific requirements. We believe our emphasis on technology,
combined with a customer-focused approach to distribution and value-added services, enables us to compete effectively with other distribution models.

Other Domestic Segment Matters

Regulation

The medical/surgical supply distribution industry in the United States is subject to regulation by federal, state and local government
agencies. Each of our distribution centers is licensed to distribute medical and surgical supplies, as well as certain pharmaceutical and related products. We must comply with laws and regulations, including those governing operating, storage,
transportation, safety and security standards for each of our distribution centers, of the Food and Drug Administration, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Homeland Security, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, and state boards of pharmacy, or similar state licensing boards and regulatory agencies as they apply to the operation of each of our distribution centers. We are also subject to various federal and state laws intended to
protect the privacy of health or other personal information and to prevent healthcare fraud and abuse. We believe we are in material compliance with all statutes and regulations applicable to distributors of medical and surgical supply products and
pharmaceutical and related products, including the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Medicare, Medicaid, as well as applicable general employment and employee health and safety laws and regulations.

Employees

At the end of 2012, we employed approximately 4,800 full- and part-time teammates in the Domestic segment. We believe that ongoing teammate training is critical to performance and use Owens &
Minor University®, an in-house training facility, to offer classes in leadership, management development,
finance, operations, safety and sales. We believe that relations with teammates are good.

The International Segment

Our International segment, which is comprised of Movianto, represented 5.5% of our consolidated net revenues
during the fourth quarter of 2012, the first quarter that included a full three months of Moviantos operations since it was acquired by us on August 31, 2012. Movianto is a European contract logistics service provider to the
pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare industry, offering a broad range of supply chain services including transportation, warehousing, controlled-substance handling, cold-chain delivery, re-labeling, kitting, packaging and order-to-cash
management. Movianto has a diverse customer base of approximately 600 clients and has a network of 22 logistics centers in 11 European countries, including Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain,
Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Moviantos contracts with its clients are generally for three-year terms with
rolling automatic one year extension periods. The tendering or competitive bidding process typically takes 12 to 18 months from the initial client request for proposal until becoming operational. Movianto offers significant flexibility to tailor
contracts to specific client requirements and benefits from the expansion of clients into additional European countries. Pricing may be activity-based, with service-based fees determined by clients particular requirements for warehousing,
handling and delivery services, or it may be based on buy-sell wholesaler arrangements for product and distribution services. Major competitors in Europe include United Parcel Service, Deutsche Post DHL and FedEx Corporation. The average length of
relationship for Moviantos top 75% of clients is over seven years.

Movianto delivers product using a fleet of leased
and owned trucks, including cold-chain delivery trucks. Contract carriers and parcel services are used in situations where they are more cost-effective and timely.

As a part of the Movianto acquisition in 2012, we entered into transition support services agreements with the former owner of Movianto under which it provides certain information technology and support
services for terms ranging from six to 24 months.

Movianto is subject to local, country and European-wide regulations, including those
promulgated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), a decentralized agency of the European Union responsible for the scientific evaluation of medicines developed by pharmaceutical companies for use in the European Union. In addition, quality
requirements are imposed by healthcare industry manufacturers which audit Movianto on a regular basis. Each of our logistics centers in Europe is licensed to distribute medical and surgical supplies, as well as certain pharmaceutical and related
products, according to the country-specific requirements. We believe we are in material compliance with all statutes and regulations. Movianto is also ISO 9001:2008 certified across the entire enterprise.

At the end of 2012, Movianto employed approximately 1,700 full- and part-time teammates, most of whom are covered by collective
bargaining agreements. We believe that relations with teammates and unions are good.

Item 1A. Risk
Factors

Set forth below are certain risk factors that we currently believe could materially affect our business,
financial condition and prospects. These risk factors are in addition to those mentioned in other parts of this report and are not all of the risks that we face.

Competition in the United States

The medical/surgical supply
distribution industry in the United States is highly competitive and characterized by intense pricing pressure. We compete with other national distributors and a number of regional and local distributors, as well as customer self-distribution
models. Competitive factors within the medical/surgical supply distribution industry include market pricing, total delivered product cost, product availability, the ability to fill and invoice orders accurately, delivery time, range of services
provided, efficient product sourcing, inventory management, information technology, electronic commerce capabilities, and the ability to meet customer-specific requirements. Our success is dependent on the ability to compete on the above factors,
while managing internal costs and expenses. These competitive pressures could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

In addition, in recent years, the healthcare industry in the United States has experienced and continues to experience significant consolidation in response to cost containment legislation and general
market pressures to reduce costs. This consolidation of our customers and suppliers generally gives them greater bargaining power to reduce the pricing available to them, which may adversely impact our results of operations.

Dependence on Significant Healthcare Provider Customers

In 2012, our top ten customers in the United States represented approximately 23% of our consolidated net revenue. In addition, in 2012, approximately 80% of our consolidated net revenue was from sales to
member hospitals under contract with our largest group purchasing organizations (GPO): Novation, Premier, Broadlane and MedAssets. We could lose a significant customer or GPO relationship if an existing contract expires without being replaced or is
terminated by the customer or GPO prior to its expiration (if permitted by the applicable contract). Although the termination of our relationship with a given GPO would not necessarily result in the loss of all of the member hospitals as customers,
any such termination of a GPO relationship, or a significant individual customer relationship, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Dependence on Significant Domestic Suppliers

In the United States,
we distribute products from nearly 1,300 suppliers and are dependent on these suppliers for the continuing supply of products. In 2012, sales of products of our ten largest domestic suppliers accounted for approximately 55% of revenue. We rely on
suppliers to provide agreeable purchasing and delivery terms and performance incentives. Our ability to sustain adequate operating earnings has been, and will continue to be, partially dependent upon our ability to obtain favorable terms and
incentives

from suppliers, as well as suppliers continuing use of third-party distributors to sell and deliver their products. A change in terms by a significant supplier, or the decision of such a supplier
to distribute its products directly to healthcare providers rather than through third-party distributors, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Integration of Acquisitions

In connection with our growth strategy,
we from time to time acquire other businesses that we believe will expand or complement our existing businesses and operations. On August 31, 2012, we completed our first international acquisition through our purchase of Movianto, which has
facilities in 11 European countries and operates throughout the European marketplace. The integration of acquisitions, particularly international acquisitions, involves a number of significant risks, which may include but are not limited to, the
following:



Expenses and difficulties in the transition and integration of operations and systems



The assimilation and retention of personnel, including management personnel, in the acquired businesses



Accounting, tax, regulatory and compliance issues that could arise



Difficulties in implementing uniform controls, procedures and policies in our acquired companies, or in remediating control deficiencies in acquired
companies not formerly subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002



Retention of current customers and the ability to obtain new customers



Unanticipated expenses incurred or charges to earnings based on unknown circumstances or liabilities



Failure to realize the synergies and other benefits we expect from the acquisition at the pace we anticipate



General economic conditions in the markets in which the acquired businesses operate



Difficulties encountered in conducting business in markets where we have limited experience and expertise

If we are unable to successfully complete and integrate our strategic acquisitions in a timely manner, our business, growth strategies
and results of operations could be adversely affected.

International Operations

Our acquisition of Movianto represents our first significant movement into the international marketplace. Additionally, in 2011, we
entered into a joint venture in China to provide product sourcing services. Operations outside the United States involve issues and risks, including but not limited to the following, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business and
results of operations:



Lack of familiarity with and expertise in conducting business in foreign markets



Foreign currency fluctuations and exchange risk



Unexpected changes in foreign regulations or conditions relating to labor, economic or political environment, and social norms or requirements



Adverse tax consequences and difficulties in repatriating cash generated or held abroad

Local economic environments, such as in the European markets served by Movianto, including recession, inflation, indebtedness, currency volatility and
competition

Changes in trade protection laws and other laws affecting trade and investment, including import/export regulations in both the United States and
foreign countries

International operations are also subject to risks of violation of laws that prohibit
improper payments to and bribery of government officials and other individuals and organizations for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. These laws include the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and other similar
laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions, any violation of which could result in substantial liability and a loss of reputation in the marketplace. Failure to comply with these laws also could subject us to civil and criminal penalties that
could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The healthcare third party logistics business in both the United States and abroad is characterized by intense competition from a number
of international, regional and local companies, including large conventional logistics companies that are moving into healthcare and pharmaceutical distribution business. This competitive market places continuous pricing pressure on us from
customers and suppliers that could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition if we are unable to continue to increase our revenues and to offset margin reductions caused by pricing pressures through cost control measures.

Changes in the Healthcare Environment in the United States

We, along with our customers and suppliers, are subject to extensive federal and state regulations relating to healthcare as well as the
policies and practices of the private healthcare insurance industry. In recent years, there have been a number of government and private initiatives to reduce healthcare costs and government spending. These changes have included an increased
reliance on managed care; reductions in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement levels; consolidation of competitors, suppliers and customers; and the development of larger, more sophisticated purchasing groups. All of these changes place additional
financial pressure on healthcare providers, who in turn seek to reduce the costs and pricing of products and services provided by us. We expect the healthcare industry to continue to change significantly and these potential changes, which may
include a reduction in government support of healthcare services, adverse changes in legislation or regulations, and further reductions in healthcare reimbursement practices, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

In March 2010, federal healthcare legislation known as the Affordable Care Act was enacted. This healthcare reform
legislation includes, among other things, provisions for expanded Medicaid eligibility and access to healthcare insurance as well as increased taxes and fees on certain corporations and medical products. Effective January 1, 2013, the
Affordable Care Act imposes a 2.3% federal excise tax on manufacturers for sales of certain medical devices. In the event these manufacturers attempt to pass all or a portion of this excise tax through to us, or in the event such tax leads
manufacturers to offer less favorable terms and incentives to distributors, our profitability could be adversely impacted. The provisions of the Affordable Care Act will not be fully implemented until 2018 and, although there is no way to predict
the full impact of the law on the healthcare industry and our operations, its implementation may have an adverse effect on both customer purchasing and payment behavior and supplier product prices and terms of sale, all of which could adversely
affect our results of operations.

Regulatory Requirements

We must comply with numerous laws and regulations in the United States, Europe and China. We also are required to hold permits and
licenses and to comply with the operational and security standards of various governmental bodies and agencies. Any failure to comply with these laws and regulations or any failure to maintain the necessary permits, licenses or approvals, or to
comply with the required standards, could disrupt our operations and/or adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition. In addition, we are subject to various federal and state laws intended to prevent healthcare fraud and abuse.
The requirements of these fraud and abuse laws are complicated and subject to interpretation and may be applied by a regulator, prosecutor or judge in a manner that could negatively impact us financially or operationally.

General Economic Climate

The deteriorating or stagnant financial and economic climate in recent years continues to have a negative impact on most sectors of the domestic economy and the international markets in which Movianto
operates. This uncertain financial and economic climate has reduced patient demand for healthcare services, reduced product price inflation, intensified pressures on healthcare providers to reduce both costs and purchases of our products and
services and could compromise our customers ability to timely pay for their purchases. Poor economic conditions could lead our suppliers to offer less favorable terms of purchase to distributors, which would negatively affect our
profitability. These and other possible consequences of financial and economic changes, including, but not limited to, the ability of banks to honor commitments under our credit facility, could materially and adversely affect our business and
results of operations.

Bankruptcy, Insolvency or other Credit Failure of Customers

We provide credit in the normal course of business to customers. We perform initial and ongoing credit evaluations of customers and
maintain reserves for credit losses. The bankruptcy, insolvency or other credit failure of one or more customers with substantial balances due to us could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We rely on information systems to receive, process, analyze and manage data in distributing thousands of inventory items to customers from
numerous distribution and logistics centers. These systems are also relied upon for billings to and collections from customers, as well as the purchase of and payment for inventory and related transactions from our suppliers. In addition, the
success of our long-term growth strategy is dependent upon the ability to continually monitor and upgrade our information systems to provide better service to customers. A third-party service provider in the United States, Dell Perot Systems, is
responsible for managing a significant portion of our domestic information systems, including key operational and financial systems. Our business and results of operations may be materially adversely affected if systems are interrupted or damaged by
unforeseen events (including cyber attacks) or fail to operate for an extended period of time, if we fail to appropriately enhance our systems to support growth and strategic initiatives or if our third-party service provider does not perform
satisfactorily.

Changes in Tax Laws

We operate throughout the United States, Europe, and China. As a result we are subjected to the tax laws and regulations of the United States federal, state and local governments and of various foreign
jurisdictions. From time to time, legislative and regulatory initiatives are proposed, including but not limited to proposals to repeal LIFO (last-in, first-out) treatment of domestic inventory or changes in tax accounting methods for inventory or
other tax items, that could adversely affect our tax positions, tax rate or cash payments for taxes.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

Our Domestic segment had 48 distribution centers, including office and warehouse space across the United States and China as of
December 31, 2012. We lease 47 of these distribution centers from unaffiliated third parties and own one. We also lease additional warehouse space near two of our distribution centers, as well as small offices for sales and consulting personnel
across the United States. In addition, we have a warehousing arrangement in Honolulu, Hawaii, with an unaffiliated third party, and lease space on a temporary basis from time to time to meet our inventory storage needs. We own our corporate
headquarters building, and adjacent acreage, in Mechanicsville, Virginia, a suburb of Richmond, Virginia.

Our Domestic
segment also owns one warehouse that was closed as of December 31, 2012. This warehouse is being offered for sale. We also have two leases with remaining terms ranging from nine months to 27 months for office and warehouse facilities that we
have vacated.

Our International segment leases 19 and owns three logistics centers across 11 European countries. We also
operate seven transport depots, of which we lease six and own one. We lease our corporate offices in Stuttgart, Germany.

We
regularly assess our business needs and make changes to the capacity and location of distribution and logistics centers. We believe that our facilities are adequate to carry on our business as currently conducted. A number of leases are scheduled to
terminate within the next several years. We believe that, if necessary, we could find facilities to replace these leased premises without suffering a material adverse effect on our business.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are
subject to various legal actions that are ordinary and incidental to our business, including contract disputes, employment, workers compensation, product liability, regulatory and other matters. We establish reserves from time to time based
upon periodic assessment of the potential outcomes of pending matters. In addition, we believe that any potential liability arising from employment, product liability, workers compensation and other personal injury litigation matters would be
adequately covered by our insurance coverage, subject to policy limits, applicable deductibles and insurer solvency. While the outcome of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe, based on current knowledge and the advice of
counsel, that the outcome of these currently pending matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Owens & Minor, Inc.s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol OMI. As of February 15, 2013,
there were approximately 3,622 common shareholders of record. We believe there are an estimated additional 28,220 beneficial holders of our common stock. See Selected Quarterly Financial Information in Item 15 of this report for high and low
closing sales prices of our common stock and quarterly cash dividends per common share and Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for a discussion of our dividend payments.

On March 31, 2010, we effected a three-for-two stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock in the form of a
stock dividend of one share of common stock for every two shares outstanding to stockholders of record on March 15, 2010. The common stock began trading on a post-split basis on April 1, 2010. All share and per-share data (except par
value) have been adjusted to reflect this split.

Share Repurchase Program. In February 2011, our Board of Directors authorized
a share repurchase program of up to $50 million of our outstanding common stock to be executed at the discretion of management over a three-year period, expiring in February 2014. The program is intended to offset shares issued in conjunction with
our stock incentive plan and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we repurchased in open-market transactions and retired 521,704 shares at an average price per share of $28.75. As of
December 31, 2012, we have $18.9 million remaining under the repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors. The following table summarizes the share repurchase activity by month during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations is intended to assist the reader in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the results of operations of the Company together with its subsidiaries. The discussion and analysis presented below refers
to, and should be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless otherwise indicated, throughout this Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations we are referring to our continuing operations.

Overview

Acquisition. Owens & Minor, Inc., along with our subsidiaries, (we, us, or our) is a leading national distributor
of name-brand medical and surgical supplies and a healthcare logistics company. On August 31, 2012, we acquired the Movianto Group (Movianto), which comprised the majority of Celesio AGs healthcare third-party logistics business, for
consideration of approximately $157 million. As a result of the acquisition of Movianto, we have entered into third-party logistics for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries in the European market with an existing platform that also
expands our ability to serve our United States (U.S.)-based manufacturer customers globally.

As a result of the acquisition
of Movianto, we now report Movianto as a separate International business segment. Prior to the acquisition, we had one reportable business segment, which now comprises the Domestic segment. Accordingly, the Domestic segment includes all services in
the United States relating to our role as a medical supply logistics company serving healthcare providers and manufacturers. Segment financial information is provided in Note 20 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual
report.

Financial Highlights. The following table provides a reconciliation of reported operating earnings, net
income and diluted net income per common share to non-GAAP measures used by management:

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Our managements discussion and analysis contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In general, the measures exclude items and charges that (i) management does not believe reflect our core business and relate more to strategic, multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to
activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate our performance, evaluate the balance sheet, engage in financial and
operational planning and determine incentive compensation.

Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors
as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on our financial and operating results and in comparing our performance to that of our competitors. However, the non-GAAP financial measures used by us may be
calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by us should not be considered a substitute for,
or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Acquisition-related expenses are associated with Movianto in 2012 and with the establishment of our joint venture in China in 2011. Acquisition-related charges in 2012 consist primarily of transaction
costs incurred to perform due diligence and to analyze, negotiate and consummate the acquisition, costs to perform post-closing activities to establish a tax-efficient organizational structure, and costs to transition Moviantos information
technology and other operations and administrative functions from the former owner. Exit and realignment charges are associated with optimizing our operations and include the consolidation and closure of distribution centers and offsite warehouses.
The pension settlement charge represents net actuarial losses recognized due to the settlement of the obligations of our defined benefit pension plan in 2010. Unless otherwise stated, our analysis hereinafter excludes acquisition-related and exit
and realignment expenses and the pension settlement charge. More information about these charges is provided in Notes 3, 9 and 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report.

Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) declined to $1.85 in 2012 compared with $1.94 in 2011 due to a decrease in Adjusted Operating Earnings (non-GAAP)
of $9.8 million. Domestic segment operating earnings were $212.3 million for 2012, a decrease of $4.4 million when compared to the prior year. International segment operating losses were $5.4 million for 2012.

Domestic segment operating earnings comparability between periods is adversely affected by legal expenses and loss contingencies of $2.0
million associated with California-specific litigation and compensation and benefits requirements, partially offset by income of $1.1 million from the settlement of a class action litigation. The net effect was a $0.9 million reduction in operating
earnings in 2012. This compares to $2.2 million received from settlement of an anti-trust class action lawsuit in 2011. The effect on the comparison of 2012 and 2011 operating earnings is a decline of $3.1 million.

Net revenue. Net revenue was $8.91 billion for 2012, $8.63 billion for 2011 and $8.12
billion for 2010, representing increases of 3.2% for 2012 compared to 2011 and 6.2% for 2011 compared to 2010. Domestic segment net revenue was $8.73 billion for 2012. International segment net revenue of $176.7 million represents the net revenue of
Movianto for four months since its acquisition on August 31, 2012.

The following table presents the components of the increase in net revenue for the years
ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, compared with the same periods in the prior year, and presents Domestic segment new customer changes net of lost customer activity (net new (lost)). Domestic segment fee-for-service revenue
represents revenue from services provided to customers in the U.S. that are not directly related to sales and distribution services provided under buy-sell wholesaler arrangements.

The increase in gross margin dollars and gross margin percentage for 2012 versus 2011 is primarily due to
gross margin contributed by Movianto for four months since its acquisition on August 31, 2012. Lower percentage margins for distribution services for 2012 and 2011 versus the prior year are driven by changes in Domestic segment customer mix,
including lower margin on new contracts with large integrated health networks and competitive pressures, representing 16 basis points of the decline.

We value Domestic segment inventory under the LIFO method. Had inventory been valued under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, gross margin as a percentage of revenue would have been higher by 5 basis
points in 2012, 16 basis points in 2011 and 14 basis points in 2010.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
expenses. SG&A expenses include labor, warehousing, handling and delivery costs associated with our distribution and third-party logistics services, as well as labor costs for our supply-chain consulting services. The costs to convert
new customers to our information systems are generally incurred prior to the recognition of revenues from the new customers.

SG&A expenses were $682.6 million for 2012, $610.7 million for 2011 and $564.2 million for 2010. SG&A expenses increased $71.9
million in 2012 compared to 2011, primarily as a result of the acquisition of Movianto, which is included for four months since its acquisition on August 31, 2012. International segment SG&A expenses include costs for information technology
and other transition services provided by the former owners of Movianto, as well as information technology outsourcing and consulting for support and maintenance of its information systems. The increase from Movianto was partially offset by
decreased SG&A

expense for Domestic segment fee-for-service operations of $6.3 million, including lower costs for our third-party logistics business that converted a large new customer during 2011. SG&A
expenses unrelated to Movianto and fee-for-service operations declined $5.1 million in 2012, due to lower labor costs of $2.8 million, lower distribution center occupancy expenses of $1.4 million, primarily resulting from our exit and organizational
realignment in the fourth quarter of 2011, and a lower provision for losses on accounts and notes receivable of $1.0 million. The decrease in labor costs includes decreased incentive compensation for lower achievement against performance thresholds
in 2012. These decreases in SG&A expense in 2012 were partially offset by increased delivery expenses of $3.4 million resulting from increased fuel costs and business growth.

SG&A expenses increased 8.2% to $610.7 million for 2011, compared with $564.2 million for 2010. SG&A expenses increased $25.7
million for fee-for-service operations, including costs to convert new third-party logistics business. SG&A expenses unrelated to fee-for-service operations increased $14.8 million for labor costs, $6.3 million for delivery expenses resulting
from increased fuel costs and business growth, and $2.2 million for consulting expenses.

Depreciation and amortization
expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 16.0% to $39.6 million for 2012 from $34.1 million for 2011. Depreciation and amortization increased $4.6 million, primarily related to warehouse equipment and information technology
hardware and software, in 2012 as a result of the acquisition of Movianto. Domestic segment depreciation and amortization increased $1.1 million for operational software improvements and $1.3 million for warehouse equipment and leasehold
improvements related to warehouse automation and the relocation of a distribution center. This increase was partially offset by lower amortization resulting from the expiration of noncompete agreements. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased 17.1% to $34.1 million for 2011 from $29.1 million for 2010. The increase was primarily due to depreciation and amortization of warehouse equipment and leasehold improvements for relocated and expanded distribution centers and third-party
logistics centers, as well as amortization of operational software improvements and certain customer-related technologies.

Other operating income, net. Other operating income, net was $4.5 million, $3.9 million and $2.9 million in 2012, 2011 and
2010, including finance charge income of $4.9 million, $2.9 million and $2.3 million for the same periods. Finance charge income for 2012 includes income from customer inventory financing arrangements in Europe. Other operating income, net,
in 2012 includes legal expenses and loss contingencies expense of approximately $2.0 million associated with California-specific litigation and compensation and benefits requirements, partially offset by income of $1.1 million from the settlement of
a class action litigation. Other operating income for 2011 benefitted from $2.2 million received from settlement of an anti-trust class action lawsuit. In addition, other operating income in 2011 included expenses of $1.7 million primarily for the
development of a model for partnering with customers.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net of interest
earned on cash balances, was $13.4 million for 2012, as compared with $13.7 million for 2011 and $14.3 million for 2010. The following table presents the components of our effective interest rate and average borrowings for years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

For 2012, the effective interest rate decreased to 6.17% primarily due to a 30 basis point decrease as a
result of replacing our revolving credit facility in June 2012 with a new revolving credit facility with lower commitment fees (refer to Capital Resources in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition for a description
of the new revolving credit facility). The decrease in commitment fees was partially offset by a decline in interest income from interest rate swaps, which were terminated in 2011.

Income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $74.4 million for 2012, compared with $74.6 million for 2011, and $71.0
million for 2010. Our effective tax rate was 40.6% for 2012, as compared with 39.3% for 2011, and 39.1% for 2010. Excluding the acquisition-related and exit and realignment costs in 2012, of which approximately $4.6 million are not tax deductible,
the effective tax rate was 39.4% for 2012. The Domestic segment effective tax rate was 39.1% for 2012.

Financial Condition. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $98 million at December 31, 2012 from $136 million at
December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of the Movianto acquisition in 2012. Nearly all of our cash and cash equivalents are held in cash depository accounts with major banks in the United States and Europe or invested in high-quality,
short-term liquid investments.

Accounts and notes receivable, net of allowances, increased nearly $47 million, or 9.2%, to
$554 million at December 31, 2012, from $507 million at December 31, 2011. Consolidated accounts receivable days outstanding (DSO) was 21.2 at December 31, 2012. Domestic segment DSO was 19.1 days at December 31, 2012, 20.7 days
at December 31, 2011, and 19.6 days at December 31, 2010, based on three months sales. Accounts receivable increased by approximately $66 million due to the acquisition of Movianto and growth in sales, partially offset by the effect
of a decrease in Domestic segment DSO of 1.6 days.

Merchandise inventories decreased to $764 million at December 31,
2012 from $806 million at December 31, 2011. Domestic segment average annual inventory turnover was 10.1 in 2012 and 10.2 in 2011. Merchandise inventories increased by approximately $15 million due to the acquisition of Movianto. The Domestic
segment had a build-up of inventory levels during the fourth quarter of 2011 to support the conversion of large new customers. Inventories returned to normalized levels post-conversion in 2012.

The International segments net working capital of approximately $29 million at December 31, 2012, excluding cash and cash
equivalents, is comprised of accounts receivable of $78 million, financing receivables and other current assets of $136 million, inventories of $14 million, accounts payable of $37 million and financing payables and other current liabilities of
approximately $162 million. See Note 6 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on financing receivables.

Cash provided by operating activities was $218.5 million in 2012, compared to $68.4 million in 2011 and
$143.2 million in 2010. Cash from operating activities for 2012 increased over 2011 due to the reduction of Domestic segment inventories and benefitted from a decrease in Domestic segment DSO of 1.6 days in 2012 (favorable impact of approximately
$38.3 million). Cash from operating activities in 2011 was a result of operating earnings and an increase in accounts payable, due to increased inventory purchases, offset by a build-up of inventory of approximately $100 million for new business, an
increase in DSO of 1.1 days (adverse impact on cash of $26.3 million), and an increase in other current assets related to our growth in revenues. Cash from operating activities for 2010 was positively affected by operating earnings, a decrease in
DSO of 1.8 days (positive impact on cash of approximately $43 million), and an increase in accounts payable. Cash from operating activities for 2010 was negatively affected by an increase in inventory for new customers.

Cash used for investing activities increased to $190.8 million for 2012 from $33.9 million for 2011 and $37.4 million for 2010, largely
due to the acquisition of Movianto. We acquired Movianto in exchange for approximately $155.2 million of cash plus assumed third-party debt (primarily capitalized leases) of $2.1 million. Domestic segment capital expenditures were $34.5 million in
2012, compared to $36.3 million in 2011, primarily related to our strategic and operational efficiency initiatives, particularly initiatives relating to information technology enhancements. Capital expenditures in 2011 primarily included leasehold
improvements and warehouse equipment for our distribution centers and third-party logistics facilities, as well as investments in operational software improvements and certain customer-facing technologies. Capital expenditures were $41.3 million for
2010, primarily related to relocating or expanding distribution centers for new distribution and third-party logistics business, as well as continued investment in operational efficiency initiatives. Capital expenditures in 2010 also included
investments in software for the continued implementation of voice-pick and customer-facing technologies and other technology infrastructure enhancements. These capital expenditures were partially offset by proceeds from the sale of properties
acquired from The Burrows Company.

Net cash used in financing activities was $68.4 million in 2012, $57.5 million in 2011, and
$41.0 million in 2010. In 2012, we paid dividends of $55.7 million and repurchased common stock under a share repurchase program for $15.0 million. In 2011, we paid dividends of $50.9 million, repurchased common stock under a share repurchase
program for $16.1 million of cash, and received proceeds of $4.0 million as a result of the termination of interest rate swaps. In 2010, we paid dividends of $44.8 million and financing costs of $2.8 million. We received proceeds from exercises of
stock options of $5.0 million, $9.2 million and $7.2 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Cash used by operating activities of
discontinued operations was $0.3 million for 2011, associated with administrative costs, compared with $1.7 million in 2010, primarily associated with leased facilities of the discontinued direct-to-consumer business.

Capital resources. Our sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents and a revolving credit facility. On
June 5, 2012, we entered into a five-year $350 million Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and a syndicate of financial institutions (the Credit Agreement). This agreement replaced an existing $350 million
credit agreement set to expire on June 7, 2013. Under the new credit facility, we have the ability to request two one-year extensions and to request an increase in aggregate commitments by up to $150 million. The interest rate on the new credit
facility, which is subject to adjustment quarterly, is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, plus an adjustment based on the better of our debt ratings or leverage ratio (Credit Spread) as
defined by the Credit Agreement. We are charged a commitment fee of between 17.5 and 42.5 basis points on the unused portion of the facility. The terms of the credit agreement limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and require us to
maintain ratios for leverage and interest coverage, including on a pro forma basis in the event of an acquisition. At December 31, 2012, we had no borrowings and letters of credit of $5.0 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility,
leaving $345.0 million available for borrowing.

We may utilize the revolving credit facility for long-term strategic growth,
capital expenditures, working capital and general corporate purposes. If we were unable to access the revolving credit facility, it could impact our ability to fund these needs. During 2012, we had no borrowings or repayments under the credit
facilities. Based on our leverage ratio at December 31, 2012, the interest rate under the new credit facility is LIBOR plus 1.375%. We have $200 million of senior notes outstanding, which mature in 2016 and bear interest at 6.35%, payable
semi-annually on April 15 and October 15. The revolving credit facility and senior notes contain cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of payments due in the event of default of either agreement. We believe we
were in compliance with the debt covenants at December 31, 2012.

We earn a portion of our operating earnings in foreign
jurisdictions outside the U.S., which we consider to be indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, no U.S. federal and state income taxes and withholding taxes have been provided on these earnings. Our cash, cash-equivalents, short-term investments, and
marketable securities held by our foreign subsidiaries totaled $24.9 million as of December 31, 2012. We do not intend, nor do we foresee a need, to repatriate these funds or other assets held outside the U.S. In the future, should we require
more capital to fund discretionary activities in the U.S. than is generated by our domestic operations and is available through our borrowings, we could elect to repatriate cash or other assets from foreign jurisdictions that have previously been
considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Upon distribution of these assets, we could be subject to additional U.S. federal and state income taxes and withholding taxes payable to foreign jurisdictions, where applicable.

We paid quarterly cash dividends on our outstanding common stock at the rate of $0.22 per share during 2012, $0.20 per share during 2011,
and $0.177 per share during 2010. Our annual dividend payout ratio for the three years ended December 31, 2012, based on Adjusted EPS, was in the range of 36.5% to 47.6%. In February 2013, the Board of Directors approved a 9% increase in the
amount of our quarterly dividend to $0.24 per common share. We anticipate continuing to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment of future dividends remains within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon
our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

In February 2011, the Board of
Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $50 million of our outstanding common stock to be executed at the discretion of management over a three-year period, expiring in February 2014. The program is intended to offset shares issued
in conjunction with our stock incentive plan and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During 2012, we repurchased approximately 521,704 shares at $15.0 million under this program. At December 31, 2012, we had up to $18.9 million
remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

We believe available financing sources, including cash generated by
operating activities and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, long-term strategic growth, payments under long-term debt and lease arrangements, payments of
quarterly cash dividends, share repurchases and other cash requirements. While we believe that we will have the ability to meet our financing needs in the foreseeable future, changes in economic conditions may impact (i) the ability of
financial institutions to meet their contractual commitments to us, (ii) the ability of our customers and suppliers to meet their obligations to us or (iii) our cost of borrowing.

We do not have guarantees or other off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, which we believe could
have a material impact on financial condition or liquidity.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related
disclosures. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements.

Critical
accounting policies are defined as those policies that relate to estimates that require us to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and could have a material impact on our results due to changes in
the estimate or the use of different assumptions that could reasonably have been used. Our estimates are generally based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are judged to be reasonable in light of the relevant facts and
circumstances. Because of the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ. We believe our critical accounting policies and estimates include allowances for losses on accounts and notes receivable, inventory valuation,
accounting for goodwill and long-lived assets, self-insurance liabilities, supplier incentives, and business combinations.

Allowances for losses on accounts and notes receivable. We maintain valuation allowances based upon the expected
collectability of accounts and notes receivable. The allowances include specific amounts for accounts that are likely to be uncollectible, such as customer bankruptcies and disputed amounts, and general allowances for accounts that may become
uncollectible. These allowances are estimated based on a number of factors, including industry trends, current economic conditions, creditworthiness of customers, age of the receivables, changes in customer payment patterns, and historical
experience. At December 31, 2012, accounts and notes receivable were $553.5 million, net of allowances of $14.7 million. An unexpected bankruptcy or other adverse change in the financial condition of a customer could result in increases in
these allowances, which could have a material effect on the results of operations.

Inventory valuation. Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost
or market, with cost determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for Domestic segment inventories and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for International segment inventories. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is
made only at the end of the year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. LIFO calculations are required for interim reporting purposes and are based on estimates of the expected mix of products in year-end inventory. In addition,
inventory valuation includes estimates of allowances for obsolescence and variances between actual inventory on-hand and perpetual inventory records that can arise between physical inventory dates. These estimates are based on factors such as the
age of inventory and historical trends. At December 31, 2012, the carrying value of inventory was $763.8 million, which is $110.9 million less than the value of inventory had it all been accounted for on a FIFO basis.

Goodwill and long-lived assets. Goodwill represents the excess of consideration paid over the fair value of identifiable
net assets acquired. Long-lived assets, which are a component of identifiable net assets, include intangible assets with finite useful lives, property and equipment, and computer software costs. Intangible assets with finite useful lives consist
primarily of customer relationships and non-compete agreements acquired through business combinations. Certain assumptions and estimates are employed in determining the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired.

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events occur or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of
goodwill may not be recoverable. In performing the impairment test, we perform qualitative assessments based on macroeconomic conditions, structural changes in the industry, estimated financial performance, and other relevant information. If
necessary, we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using valuation techniques which can include comparable multiples of the reporting units earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and discounted cash
flows. The EBITDA multiples are based on an analysis of current enterprise valuations and recent acquisition prices of similar companies, if available. The carrying value of the reporting unit is then compared to its fair value to determine
potential impairment. Goodwill totaled $274.9 million at December 31, 2012.

Long-lived assets, which exclude goodwill,
are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. We assess long-lived assets for potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of an asset,
or group of related assets, to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. At December 31, 2012, long-lived assets included property and equipment of $191.8 million, net of accumulated depreciation; intangible assets of $42.3 million, net of
accumulated amortization; and computer software costs of $59.7 million, net of accumulated amortization.

We did not record
any material impairment losses related to goodwill or long-lived assets in 2012. However, the impairment review of goodwill and long-lived assets requires the extensive use of accounting judgment, estimates and assumptions. The application of
alternative assumptions could produce materially different results.

Self-insurance liabilities. We are
self-insured for most employee healthcare, workers compensation and automobile liability costs; however, we maintain insurance for individual losses exceeding certain limits. Liabilities are estimated for healthcare costs using current and
historical claims data. Liabilities for workers compensation and automobile liability claims are estimated using historical claims data and loss development factors. If the underlying facts and circumstances of existing claims change or
historical trends are not indicative of future trends, then we may be required to record additional expense that could have a material effect on the results of operations. Self-insurance liabilities recorded in our consolidated balance sheet for
employee healthcare, workers compensation and automobile liability costs totaled $12.9 million at December 31, 2012.

Supplier incentives. We have contractual arrangements with certain suppliers that provide incentives, including operational
efficiency and performance-based incentives, on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. These incentives are recognized as a reduction in cost of goods sold as targets become probable of achievement. Supplier incentives receivable are recorded for
interim and annual reporting purposes and are based on our estimate of the amounts which are expected to be realized. If we do not achieve required targets under certain programs as estimated, it could have a material effect on our results of
operations.

Business Combinations. We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets
acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When
determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.

Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include but are not limited to future expected cash flows from customer relationships and discount rates. Our estimates of fair value are based upon
assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We provide credit in the normal course of business to our customers and are exposed to losses resulting from nonpayment or delinquent
payment by customers. We perform initial and ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain reserves for estimated credit losses. We measure our performance in collecting customer accounts receivable in terms of days sales outstanding
(DSO). Accounts receivable from continuing operations at December 31, 2012, were $553.5 million, and consolidated DSO at December 31, 2012, was 21.2, based on three months sales. A hypothetical increase (decrease) in DSO of one
day would result in a decrease (increase) in our cash balances, an increase (decrease) in borrowings against our revolving credit facility, or a combination thereof of approximately $25 million.

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates related to our revolving credit facility. We had no outstanding borrowings
and $5.0 million in letters of credit under the facility at December 31, 2012. A hypothetical increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would result in a potential reduction in future pre-tax earnings of approximately $0.1 million per year
for every $10 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

Due to the nature and pricing of our
Domestic segment distribution services, we are exposed to potential volatility in fuel prices. Our strategies for helping to mitigate our exposure to changing domestic fuel prices has included entering into leases for trucks with improved fuel
efficiency and entering into fixedprice agreements for diesel fuel. We benchmark our domestic diesel fuel purchase prices against the U.S. Weekly Retail On-Highway Diesel Prices (benchmark) as quoted by the U.S. Energy Information
Administration. The benchmark averaged $3.97 per gallon in 2012, increased 3% from $3.84 per gallon in 2011. Based on our fuel consumption in 2012, we estimate that every 10 cents per gallon increase in the benchmark reduced our Domestic segment
operating earnings by approximately $600,000. In January 2013, we entered into a fixed-price purchase agreement with one of our diesel fuel suppliers for approximately one-third of our anticipated Domestic segment fuel usage for 2013 at an
equivalent benchmark price of $3.91 per gallon.

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to foreign currency
translation and transaction risks. Our business transactions outside of the United States are primarily denominated in the Euro and British Pound. We may use foreign currency forwards, swaps and options, where possible, to manage our risk related to
certain foreign currency fluctuations. However, we believe that our foreign currency transaction risks are low since our revenues and expenses are typically denominated in the same currency.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

See Item 15, Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, with the participation of management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period
covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012.

On August 31, 2012, we completed our acquisition of Movianto. As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
current year acquisition scope exception, we have excluded the Movianto acquisition from our 2012 assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting since it was not practicable for management to conduct an assessment
of internal control over financial reporting between the acquisition date and the date of managements assessment. However, we have extended our oversight and monitoring processes that support our internal control over financial reporting to
include Moviantos operations.

Except for the effect of the Movianto acquisition, there has been no change in our internal
control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter (our fourth quarter in the case of an annual report) ended December 31, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting,
as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f), for Owens & Minor, Inc. (the company). Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the companys principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In reliance on guidance set forth in Question 3 of a Frequently Asked
Questions interpretative release issued by the Staff of the SECs Office of the Chief Accountant and the Division of Corporation Finance in September 2004, as revised on September 24, 2007, regarding Securities Exchange Act Release No.
34-47986, Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Certification of Disclosure in Exchange Act Periodic Reports, management determined that it would exclude the Movianto business, which was acquired on August 31,
2012, from the scope of the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The reason for this exclusion is that we acquired Movianto in August 2012 and it was not practical for management to conduct an assessment
of internal control over financial reporting in the period between the date the acquisition was completed and the date of managements assessment. Accordingly, management excluded Movianto from its assessment of internal control over financial
reporting. Movianto represents $411.0 million of total assets and $176.7 million of revenues as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, of our consolidated financial statements. Movianto will be included in managements assessment of
internal control over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2013.

Based on our evaluation under the COSO
framework, management concluded that the companys internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.

The effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in
their report which is included in this annual report.

We have audited Owens & Minor, Inc.s (the Company)
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The
Companys management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Owens & Minor, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2012, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Owens & Minor, Inc. acquired Movianto on August 31, 2012, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of Owens & Minor, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2012, Moviantos internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $411.0 million and total revenues of $176.7 million included in the consolidated financial statements of Owens & Minor, Inc. Our
audit of internal control over financial reporting of Owens & Minor, Inc. also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Movianto.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Owens & Minor, Inc. and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012, and our report dated
February 22, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Information required by Items 10-14 can be found under Corporate Officers on page 8 of the Annual Report (or at the
end of the electronic filing of this Form 10-K) and the registrants 2013 Proxy Statement pursuant to instructions (1) and G(3) of the General Instructions to Form 10-K.

Because our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), our Chief Executive Officer is required to make, and he has
made, an annual certification to the NYSE stating that he was not aware of any violation by of the corporate governance listing standards of the NYSE. Our Chief Executive Officer made his annual certification to that effect to the NYSE as of
May 23, 2012. In addition, we have filed, as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer required under Sections 906 and 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the quality of our public disclosure.

Owens & Minor, Inc. along with its subsidiaries (we, us, or our) is a Fortune 500 company providing
distribution, third-party logistics, and other supply-chain management services to healthcare providers and suppliers of medical and surgical products, and is a leading national distributor of medical and surgical supplies to the acute-care market
in the United States. In the European market, the company has a leading position as a provider of third-party logistics services to manufacturers and suppliers of healthcare and life-science products. We began reporting Domestic and International
business segments in 2012 in conjunction with the acquisition of Movianto Group (Movianto) on August 31, 2012 (see Notes 3 and 20 for more information).

Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Owens & Minor, Inc. and the subsidiaries it controls, in conformity with U.S generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). For the consolidated subsidiary in which our ownership is less than 100%, the outside stockholders interest is presented as a noncontrolling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.

On March 31, 2010, we effected a three-for-two stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock in
the form of a stock dividend of one share of common stock for every two shares outstanding to stockholders of record on March 15, 2010 (Stock Split). All share and per-share data (except par value) have been retroactively adjusted to reflect
the Stock Split for all periods presented.

Reclassifications. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified
to conform to current year presentation.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, the allowances for losses on accounts and notes receivable,
inventory valuation allowances, supplier incentives, depreciation and amortization, goodwill valuation, valuation of intangible assets and other long-lived assets, valuation of property held for sale, self-insurance liabilities, tax liabilities,
defined benefit obligations, share-based compensation and other contingencies. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and marketable securities with an original maturity or
maturity at acquisition of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost. Nearly all of our cash and cash equivalents are held in cash depository accounts in major banks in the United States and Europe.

Book overdrafts represent the amount of outstanding checks issued in excess of related bank balances and are included in accounts payable
in our consolidated balance sheets, as they are similar to trade payables and are not subject to finance charges or interest. Changes in book overdrafts are classified as operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounts and Notes Receivable, Net. Accounts receivable from customers are recorded at the invoiced amount. We assess
finance charges on overdue accounts receivable that are recognized as other operating income based on their estimated ultimate collectability. We have arrangements with certain customers under which they make deposits on account. Customer deposits
in excess of outstanding receivable balances are classified as other current liabilities.

We maintain valuation allowances
based upon the expected collectability of accounts and notes receivable. Our allowances include specific amounts for accounts that are likely to be uncollectible, such as customer bankruptcies and disputed amounts and general allowances for accounts
that may become uncollectible. Allowances are estimated based on a number of factors, including industry trends, current economic conditions, creditworthiness of customers, age of the receivables, changes in customer payment patterns, and historical
experience. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Financing Receivables. We have an order-to-cash program in our International segment under which we invoice manufacturers customers and remit collected amounts to the manufacturers. We
retain credit risk for uncollected receivables under this program. Fees charged for this program are included in net revenue. Product pricing and related product risks are retained by the

manufacturer. Balances receivable and related amounts payable under this program are classified in other current assets and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Merchandise Inventories. Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by the
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for Domestic segment inventories. Cost of International segment inventories is determined using the first-in, first out (FIFO) method.

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or, if acquired under capital leases, at the lower of the present value of minimum lease
payments or fair market value at the inception of the lease less accumulated amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for financial reporting purposes is computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or,
for capital leases and leasehold improvements, over the term of the lease, if shorter. In general, the estimated useful lives for computing depreciation and amortization are four to eight years for warehouse equipment, five to 40 years for buildings
and building improvements, and three to eight years for computers, furniture and fixtures, and office and other equipment. Straight-line and accelerated methods of depreciation are used for income tax purposes. Normal maintenance and repairs are
expensed as incurred, and renovations and betterments are capitalized.

Leases. We have entered into
non-cancelable agreements to lease most of our office and warehouse facilities with remaining terms generally ranging from one to twenty years. We also lease most of our transportation and material handling equipment for terms generally ranging from
five to eight years. Certain information technology assets embedded in an outsourcing agreement are accounted for as capital leases. Leases are classified as operating leases or capital leases at their inception. Rent expense for leases with rent
holidays or pre-determined rent increases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Incentives and allowances for leasehold improvements are deferred and recognized as a reduction of rent expense over the lease term.

Goodwill. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually, as of April 30, and whenever events occur or changes in
circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. We review goodwill first by performing a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its
carrying value. If not, we then perform a quantitative assessment by first comparing the carrying amount to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be less than its carrying value, a second step
is performed to measure the goodwill impairment loss as the excess of the carrying value of the reporting units goodwill over the estimated fair value of its goodwill. We estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using valuation techniques
which can include comparable multiples of the units earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and present value of expected cash flows. The EBITDA multiples are based on an analysis of current enterprise values
and recent acquisition prices of similar companies, if available.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets acquired
through purchases or business combinations are stated at fair value at the acquisition date and net of accumulated amortization in the consolidated balance sheets. Intangible assets, consisting primarily of customer relationships, customer
contracts, non-competition agreements, trademarks, and tradenames are amortized over their estimated useful lives. In determining the useful life of an intangible asset, we consider our historical experience in renewing or extending similar
arrangements. Customer relationships are generally amortized over 10 to 15 years and other intangible assets are amortized generally for periods between one and 15 years, based on their pattern of economic benefit or on a straight-line basis.

Computer Software. We develop and purchase software for internal use. Software development costs incurred
during the application development stage are capitalized. Once the software has been installed and tested, and is ready for use, additional costs incurred in connection with the software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized computer software costs
are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, usually between three and five years. Computer software costs are included in other assets, net, in the consolidated balance sheets. Unamortized software at December 31, 2012 and
2011 was $59.7 million and $29.7 million. Depreciation and amortization expense includes $11.0 million, $9.9 million and $8.1 million of software amortization for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets, and unamortized
software costs, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. We assess long-lived assets for potential impairment by comparing the carrying
value of an asset, or group of related assets, to their estimated undiscounted future cash flows.

Self-Insurance
Liabilities. We are self-insured for most employee healthcare, workers compensation and automobile liability costs; however, we maintain insurance for individual losses exceeding certain limits. Liabilities are estimated for healthcare
costs using current and historical claims data. Liabilities for workers compensation and automobile liability claims are estimated using historical claims data and loss development factors. If the underlying facts and circumstances of existing
claims change or historical trends are not indicative of future trends, then we may be required to record additional expense or reductions to expense. Self-insurance liabilities are included in other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance
sheets.

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price or fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Under most of our healthcare provider distribution contracts, title passes to the customer when the product is received by the customer. We record product revenue at the time that shipment is completed.
Distribution fee revenue, when calculated as a mark-up of the product cost, is also recognized at the time that shipment is completed.

Revenue for activity-based distribution fees and other services is recognized as work is performed and as amounts are earned. Depending on the specific contractual provisions and nature of the
deliverable, revenue from services may be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the service, on a proportional performance model, based on level of effort, or when final deliverables have been provided. Additionally, we generate fees
from arrangements that include performance targets related to cost-saving initiatives for customers that result from our supply-chain management services. Achievement against performance targets, measured in accordance with contractual terms, may
result in additional fees paid to us or, if performance targets are not achieved, we may be obligated to refund or reduce a portion of our fees to provide credits toward future purchases by the customer. For these arrangements, all contingent
revenue is deferred and recognized as the performance target is achieved and the applicable contingency is released. When we determine that a loss is probable under a contract, the estimated loss is accrued.

We allocate revenue for arrangements with multiple deliverables meeting the criteria for a separate unit of accounting using the relative
selling price method and recognize revenue for each deliverable in accordance with applicable revenue recognition criteria.

In most cases, we record revenue gross, as we are the primary obligor in our sales arrangements, bear the risk of general and physical
inventory loss and carry all credit risk associated with sales. When we act as an agent in a sales arrangement and do not bear a significant portion of these risks, primarily for our third-party logistics business, we record revenue net of product
cost. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses. SG&A expenses include labor and warehousing costs associated
with our distribution and third-party logistics services, as well as labor costs for our supply-chain consulting services. Shipping and handling costs are included in SG&A expenses on the consolidated statements of income and include costs to
store, move and prepare products for shipment, as well as costs to deliver products to customers. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in net revenues. Freight costs incurred for shipments of products from manufacturers to
our distribution centers are included in cost of goods sold.

Supplier Incentives. We have contractual
arrangements with certain suppliers that provide incentives, including cash discounts for prompt payment, operational efficiency and performance-based incentives. These incentives are recognized as a reduction in cost of goods sold as targets become
probable of achievement.

Share-Based Compensation. We account for share-based payments to employees at fair
value and recognize the related expense in selling, general and administrative expenses over the service period for awards expected to vest.

Derivative Financial Instruments. We enter into interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. The purpose of these swaps is to maintain a mix of fixed to
floating rate financing in order to manage interest rate risk. Generally, the interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges of specified portions of long-term debt using the shortcut method, when both the swaps and the long-term debt meet
all of the conditions for the use of this method. Accordingly, no net gains or losses are typically recorded in the consolidated statements of income related to changes in the fair value of the underlying debt and interest rate swaps. These swaps
are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, which is determined by using observable market inputs (Level 2).

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income from continuing operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. When we have claimed tax
benefits that may be challenged by a tax authority, an estimate of the effect of these uncertain tax positions is recorded. It is our policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon an assessment of
whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. To the extent that the tax outcome of these uncertain tax positions changes, based on our assessment, such changes in estimate may impact the income
tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.

We earn a portion of our operating earnings in foreign
jurisdictions outside the United States, which we consider to be indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, no United States federal and state income taxes and withholding taxes have been provided on these earnings. Our cash, cash-equivalents, short-term
investments, and marketable securities held by our foreign subsidiaries totaled

$24.9 million as of December 31, 2012. We do not intend, nor do we foresee a need, to repatriate these funds or other assets held outside the U.S. In the future, should we require more
capital to fund discretionary activities in the U.S. than is generated by our domestic operations and is available through our borrowings, we could elect to repatriate cash or other assets from foreign jurisdictions that have previously been
considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Upon distribution of these assets, we could be subject to additional U.S. federal and state income taxes and withholding taxes payable to foreign jurisdictions, where applicable.

Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is determined based on assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an
asset or liability. The assumptions used are in accordance with a three-tier hierarchy, defined by GAAP, that draws a distinction between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets
(Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the use of present value and other valuation techniques in the
determination of fair value (Level 3).

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts
payable reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Property held for sale is reported at estimated fair value less selling costs with fair value determined based on recent
sales prices for comparable properties in similar locations (Level 2). The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market (Level 1) or,
if quoted market prices or dealer quotes are not available, on the borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms, credit ratings, and average remaining maturities (Level 2). See Notes 7, 10 and 11 for the fair value of property
held for sale, debt instruments and interest rate swaps.

Acquisition-Related and Exit and Realignment Costs. We
present costs incurred in connection with acquisitions in acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges in our consolidated statements of income. Acquisition-related charges consist primarily of transaction costs incurred to perform due
diligence and to analyze, negotiate and consummate an acquisition, costs to perform post-closing activities to establish a tax-efficient organizational structure, and costs to transition the acquired companys information technology and other
operations and administrative functions from the former owner.

Costs associated with exit and realignment activities are
recorded at their fair value when a liability has been incurred. Liabilities are established at the cease-use date for remaining operating lease and other contractual obligations, net of estimated sub-lease income. The net lease termination cost is
discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest. We evaluate these assumptions quarterly and adjust the liability accordingly. The current portion of accrued lease and other contractual termination costs is included in other accrued
liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, and the non-current portion is included in other liabilities. Severance benefits are recorded when payment is considered probable and reasonably estimable.

Income Per Share. Basic and diluted income per share are calculated pursuant to the two-class method, under which unvested
share-based payment awards containing nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities.

Foreign Currency
Translation. Our foreign subsidiaries generally consider their local currency to be their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates and revenues
and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Cumulative currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders equity. Gains and losses on intercompany foreign currency
transactions that are long-term in nature and which we do not intend to settle in the foreseeable future are also recognized in other comprehensive income in shareholders equity. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are
recorded in other operating income, net in the consolidated statements of operations and were not material to our consolidated results of operations in 2012, 2011, and 2010.

Currency translation adjustments included in other comprehensive income in 2012 are primarily related to the translation of Moviantos functional currency-denominated accounts for four months since
its acquisition on August 31, 2012.

Business Combinations. We account for acquired businesses using the
acquisition method of accounting, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net
assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. During 2012, we adopted Accounting
Standard Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for fair value measurement, testing of goodwill, presentation of comprehensive income and testing of long-lived assets. The adoption of these ASUs did not
have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In 2013, the FASB issued an ASU for reporting amounts
reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. We will adopt the ASU in the first quarter of 2013. Adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Note 2Significant Risks and Uncertainties

Many of our hospital customers in the U.S. are represented by group purchasing organizations (GPOs) that contract with
us for distribution services on behalf of the GPO members. GPOs representing a significant portion of our business are Novation, LLC (Novation), MedAssets Inc. (MedAssets) and its subsidiary Broadlane, Inc. (Broadlane) and Premier Purchasing
Partners, L.P. (Premier). Members of Novation, Broadlane, MedAssets and Premier have incentives to purchase from their primary selected distributor; however, they operate independently and are free to negotiate directly with distributors and
manufacturers. For 2012, 2011 and 2010, net revenue from hospitals under contract with these GPOs represented the following percentages of our net revenue annually: Novation33% to 37%; Broadlane and MedAssets combined22% to 24%; and
Premier20% to 22%.

On August 31, 2012, we acquired from Celesio AG (Celesio) all of the voting interests of certain subsidiaries
comprising the majority of Celesios healthcare third-party logistics business known as the Movianto Group (the acquired portion is referred to herein as Movianto) for consideration of approximately $157 million (125 million), net of cash
acquired and including debt assumed of $2.1 million (primarily capitalized lease obligations). As a result of the acquisition of Movianto, we have entered into third-party logistics for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries in the
European market with an existing platform that also expands our ability to serve our U.S.-based manufacturer customers globally.

The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon our preliminary estimate of their fair values at the date of acquisition, with certain exceptions
permitted under GAAP. The purchase price exceeded the preliminary estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets by $25.0 million, which was allocated to goodwill. The following table presents the preliminary estimated
fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized as of the acquisition date. Adjustments relate to revised estimates, which are preliminary, pending completion of our valuation. The effect of these changes on net income for the
period August 31, 2012 through September 30, 2012 was not material.

We are amortizing the fair value of acquired intangible
assets, primarily customer relationships, over their remaining weighted average useful lives of 9 years.

Goodwill of $25.0
million arising from the acquisition consists largely of expected opportunities to provide additional services to existing manufacturer customers and to expand our third-party logistics services globally. All of the goodwill was assigned to our
International segment. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Pro forma
results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because the effects on revenue and net income were not material to our historic consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities acquired includes financing receivables with a fair value of $106.8 million
and financing payables with a fair value of $130.4 million.

We recognized acquisition-related expenses of $10.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 2012. Acquisition-related expenses include transaction costs of $8.0 million and transition costs of $2.5 million.

Allowances for losses on accounts and notes receivable of $14.7 million, $15.6 million and $15.4 million have been
applied as reductions of accounts receivable at December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010. Write-offs of accounts and notes receivable were $1.9 million, $2.0 million and $2.8 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Note 5Merchandise Inventories

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had inventory of $763.8 million and $806.4 million. If LIFO inventories had been
valued on a current cost or first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, they would have been greater by $110.9 million and $106.7 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Note 6Financing Receivables

At December 31, 2012, we had financing receivables of $124.5 million and related payables of $130.1 million
outstanding under our order-to-cash program, which were included in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.

Property held for sale of $1.1 million and $4.2
million at December 31, 2012 and 2011 is included in other assets, net, in the consolidated balance sheets. We are actively marketing the property for sale; however, the ultimate timing of sale is dependent on local market conditions.

Note 8Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill was $274.9 million and $248.5 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011. Goodwill increased $25.0 million in
2012 as a result of the Movianto acquisition (see Note 3), $1.4 million in 2012 due to currency translation adjustments, and $1.2 million in 2011 to reflect the contribution of a business to one of our consolidated subsidiaries by a noncontrolling
interest.

Gross intangible assets, primarily customer relationships, increased $21.5 million in 2012 as a result of
the Movianto acquisition and $1.2 million in 2012 due to currency translation adjustments. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $2.5 million for 2012, $3.1 million for 2011, and $3.0 million for 2010.

Based on the current carrying value of intangible assets subject to amortization, estimated amortization expense is $3.2 million for
2013, $4.3 million for 2014, $4.9 million for 2015, $4.9 million for 2016 and $4.8 million for 2017.

Note 9Exit and Realignment Costs

During the fourth quarter of 2012, we recognized total charges in our Domestic segment of $2.2 million associated with
exit and realignment activities. These charges include $0.8 million related to impairment losses associated with property, plant and equipment, $1.1 million in employee severance, and $0.3 million in other expenses. We are targeting additional
charges of approximately $4 million in 2013 for lease exit and other related costs.

During 2011, we recognized total charges
of $12.7 million associated with exit activities and our organizational realignment. These charges included loss accruals for operating leases of $8.4 million, employee severance costs of $3.0 million and losses on property and equipment and other
expenses of $1.3 million. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we recorded income of $2.6 million related to a favorable lease settlement associated with the 2011 activities.

There were no charges for exit and realignment costs in 2010.

The accrual for
exit and realignment costs includes the following activity for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had $200 million of 6.35% Senior Notes outstanding, which mature
on April 15, 2016 (Senior Notes). Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15. We may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of the greater of 100% of the principal
amount of the Senior Notes or the present value of remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest discounted at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 0.25%. The estimated fair value interest rate used to compute the fair value of the
Senior Notes at December 31, 2012 was 3.194%.

On June 5, 2012, we entered into a five-year $350 million Credit Agreement
with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and a syndicate of financial institutions (the Credit Agreement) expiring June 5, 2017. This agreement replaced an existing $350 million credit agreement set to expire June 7, 2013.
Under the new credit facility, we have the ability to request two one-year extensions and to request an increase in aggregate commitments by up to $150 million. The interest rate on the new credit facility, which is subject to adjustment quarterly,
is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, plus an adjustment based on the better of our debt ratings or leverage ratio (Credit Spread) as defined by the Credit Agreement. We are charged a
commitment fee of between 17.5 and 42.5 basis points on the unused portion of the facility. The terms of the Credit Agreement limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and require us to maintain ratios for leverage and interest coverage,
including on a pro forma basis in the event of an acquisition. At December 31, 2012, we had no borrowings and letters of credit of $5.0 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility, leaving $345.0 million available for borrowing. We
also have a $1.4 million letter of credit supporting our European leased facilities outstanding as of December 31, 2012 not issued under our Credit Agreement.

The Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes contain cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of payments due in the event of default of either agreement. We believe we were
in compliance with our debt covenants at December 31, 2012.

We assumed debt (primarily capitalized lease obligations) of
approximately $2.1 million with the acquisition of Movianto.

Cash payments for interest during 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $14.7
million, $14.1 million and $13.8 million.

Based on lease commitments outstanding at December 31, 2012, minimum
capital lease payments, excluding interest, are $3.3 million in 2013, $2.7 million in 2014, $2.2 million in 2015, $1.7 million in 2016 and $1.1 million in 2017.

Note 11Derivative Financial Instruments

In April 2011, we entered into interest rate swap agreements for an aggregate $175 million in notional amounts, under
which we paid counterparties a variable rate based on the six-month LIBOR plus a spread of approximately 393 basis points, and the counterparties paid us a fixed rate of 6.35%. These agreements effectively converted 87.5% of our Senior Notes to
variable-rate debt. The swaps were designated as fair value hedges of specified portions of the Senior Notes using the shortcut method, as both the swaps and the Senior Notes met all of the conditions for the use of this method. Accordingly, no net
gains or losses were recorded in the consolidated statements of income related to changes in the fair value of the underlying debt and interest rate swap agreements.

We terminated these swaps in July 2011 and received proceeds of $4.0 million, plus accrued interest of $0.8 million. The fair value adjustment of $4.0 million to the carrying value of the related debt,
plus the remaining balance of a fair value adjustment related to interest rate swaps terminated in 2008, are being recognized as an offset to interest expense using the interest method over the remaining life of the debt. We did not hold any
derivative financial instruments during 2012 or 2010.

Note 12Share-Based Compensation

We maintain a share-based compensation plan (the Plan) that is administered by the Compensation and Benefits Committee
of the Board of Directors. The Plan allows us to award or grant to officers, directors and employees incentive, non-qualified and deferred compensation stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), performance shares, and restricted and
unrestricted stock. We use authorized and unissued common shares for grants of restricted stock or for stock option exercises. At December 31, 2012, approximately 2.1 million common shares were available for issuance under the Plan.

Restricted stock awarded under the Plan generally vests over one, three or five years.
Certain restricted stock grants contain accelerated vesting provisions, based on the satisfaction of certain performance criteria related to the achievement of certain financial and operational results. Performance shares awarded under the Plan are
issuable as restricted stock upon meeting performance goals and vest over three years. Stock options awarded under the Plan are generally subject to graded vesting over three years and expire seven to ten years from the date of grant. The options
are granted at a price equal to fair market value at the date of grant.

We have a Management Equity Ownership Program that
requires each of our officers to own common stock at specified levels, which gradually increase over five years. Officers and certain other employees who meet specified ownership goals in a given year are awarded restricted stock or performance
shares under the provisions of the program. We recognize the fair value of stock-based compensation awards, which is based upon the market price of the underlying common stock at the grant date, on a straight-line basis over the estimated requisite
service period, which may be based on a service condition, a performance condition, or a combination of both. The fair value of performance shares as of the date of grant is estimated assuming that performance goals will be achieved at target
levels. If such goals are not probable of being met, or are probable of being met at different levels, recognized compensation cost is adjusted to reflect the change in estimated fair value of restricted stock to be issued at the end of the
performance period.

Total share-based compensation expense for December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, was $5.7 million, $5.7
million and $6.4 million, with recognized tax benefits of $2.2 million, $2.2 million and $2.5 million. Unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards, net of estimated forfeitures, was $8.8 million at December 31,
2012. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years, based on the maximum remaining vesting period required under the awards, and the amount that would be recognized over a shorter period based on accelerated
vesting provisions, is less than $0.5 million. Unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance share awards as of December 31, 2012 was $2.0 million and will be recognized in 2013 if the related performance targets are met.

The following table summarizes the activity and value of nonvested restricted stock and performance share awards for the
years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

Note 13Terminated Pension Plan

We had a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the Pension Plan) which covered substantially all employees who
had earned benefits as of December 31, 1996. On that date, substantially all of the benefits of employees under the plan were frozen and all participants became fully vested. In 2010, we received final approval to terminate the plan,
contributed $13.9 million to the plan, and completed the distribution of substantially all of the plan assets. Pension expense included on the consolidated statement of income for 2010 includes net actuarial losses of $19.6 million recognized due to
the settlement of the plans obligations and $1.8 million in other net periodic pension cost.

Note 14Retirement Plans

Savings and Retirement Plans. We maintain a voluntary 401(k) savings and retirement plan covering
substantially all full-time and certain part-time employees in the United States who have completed one month of service and have attained age 18. We match a certain percentage of each employees contribution. The plan also provides for a
minimum contribution by us to the plan for all eligible employees of 1% of their salary, subject to certain limits, and discretionary profit-sharing contributions. We may increase or decrease our matching contributions at our discretion, on a
prospective basis. We incurred $9.8 million, $9.8 million, and $9.1 million of expense related to this plan in 2012, 2011 and 2010. We also maintain defined contribution plans in some of the European countries in which we operate. Expenses related
to these plans were not material in 2012.

Retirement Plans. We have a noncontributory, unfunded retirement plan for
certain officers and other key employees in the United States (Domestic Retirement Plan). We also sponsor defined benefit plans in some of the European countries in which we operate (International Retirement Plans). In February 2012, our Board of
Directors amended the Domestic Retirement Plan to freeze benefit levels and modify vesting provisions under the plan effective as of March 31, 2012.

The following table sets forth the Domestic Retirement Plans financial status and the amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets:

Plan benefit obligations of the Domestic Retirement Plan were measured as of December 31, 2012 and
2011 and as of March 31, 2012. Plan benefit obligations are determined using assumptions developed at the measurement date. The weighted average discount rate, which is used to calculate the present value of plan liabilities, is an estimate of
the interest rate at which the plan liabilities could be effectively settled at the measurement date. When estimating the discount rate, we review yields available on high-quality, fixed-income debt instruments and use a yield curve model from which
the discount rate is derived by applying the projected benefit payments under the plan to points on a published yield curve.

The components of net periodic benefit cost for the Domestic Retirement Plan, which is
included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income, are as follows:

The valuation allowances relate to deferred tax assets in various state and non-U.S. jurisdictions. Based
on managements judgments using available evidence about historical and expected future taxable earnings, management believes it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit of the existing deferred tax assets, net of valuation
allowances, at December 31, 2012. The valuation allowances primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards in non-U.S. jurisdictions which have various expiration dates ranging from five years to an unlimited carryforward period.

It is our intention to permanently reinvest the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations. As of
December 31, 2012, we have not made a provision for U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes on investments in foreign subsidiaries that are permanently reinvested, and there are no deferred tax liabilities that have not been provided.

Cash payments for income taxes, including interest, for 2012, 2011, and 2010 were $78.5 million, $61.8 million, and $55.9
million.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $12.3
million and $13.2 million. A reconciliation of the changes in unrecognized tax benefits from the beginning to the end of the reporting period is as follows:

Included in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2012 and 2011, were $10.7
million and $11.5 million of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. These tax positions are temporary differences which do not impact the annual
effective tax rate under deferred tax accounting. Any change in the deductibility period of these tax positions would impact the timing of cash payments to taxing jurisdictions. Unrecognized tax benefits of $1.7 million and $1.9 million at
December 31, 2012 and 2011, would impact our effective tax rate if recognized.

We recognize accrued interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Accrued interest at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $0.6 million and $0.7 million. Interest income recognized during 2012 was $0.1 million. Interest expense recognized in 2011
was $0.2 million. There were no penalties accrued at December 31, 2012 or 2011 or recognized in 2012, 2011 and 2010.

We
file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2009 through 2011 are subject to examination. Our income tax returns for U.S. state and local
jurisdictions are generally open for the years 2009 through 2011; however, certain returns may be subject to examination for differing periods. The seller is contractually obligated to indemnify us for all income tax liabilities incurred by the
Movianto business prior to its acquisition on August 31, 2012.

Note 16Net Income per Common Share

The following table summarizes the calculation of net income per share attributable to common shareholders for the
years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010.

The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options or achievement of certain
performance criteria and the number of shares reserved for issuance under our share-based compensation plan and shareholder rights agreement were proportionately increased for the Stock Split, described in Note 1, in accordance with terms of the
respective plans. The Stock Split was recorded by a transfer of $42.1 million from paid-in capital to common stock, representing a $2 par value for each additional share issued. The number of authorized common shares remained at 200 million,
and the number of authorized preferred shares, none of which have been issued, remained at 10 million.

We have a shareholder
rights agreement under which one Right is attendant to each outstanding share of our common stock. Adjusted for the Stock Split, each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from us one fifteen-hundredth of a share of a new Series A
Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock (New Series A Preferred Stock) at an exercise price of $66.67 (New Purchase Price). The Rights will become exercisable, if not earlier redeemed, only if a person or group acquires more than 15% of the
outstanding shares of our common stock, or if the Board of Directors so determines following the commencement of a public announcement of a tender or exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in ownership by a person or group of more
than 15% of such outstanding shares. Each holder of a Right, upon the occurrence of certain events, will become entitled to receive, upon exercise and payment of the New Purchase Price, New Series A Preferred Stock (or in certain circumstances,
cash, property or other securities of ours or a potential acquirer) having a value equal to twice the amount of the New Purchase Price. The agreement is subject to review every three years by our independent directors. The Rights will expire on
April 30, 2014, if not earlier redeemed.

In February 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program
of up to $50 million of our outstanding common stock to be executed at the discretion of management over a three-year period, expiring in February 2014. The program is intended to offset shares issued in conjunction with our stock incentive plan and
may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we repurchased in open-market transactions and retired approximately 522 thousand shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $15.0 million, or an
average price per share of $28.75. As of December 31, 2012, we have approximately $18.9 million remaining under the repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors. We have elected to allocate any excess of share repurchase price over par
value to retained earnings.

The noncontrolling interest in net income was not material in 2012 or 2011.

We have a contractual commitment to outsource information technology operations, including the management and operation
of our information technology systems and distributed services processing, as well as application support, development and enhancement services. This agreement was amended in January 2012 to extend the terms of service through December 2014. The
commitment is cancelable with 180 days notice and payment of a termination fee. The termination fee is based upon certain costs which would be incurred by the vendor as a direct result of the early termination of the agreement. Based on the amended
terms, the maximum termination fee payable was $3.5 million at December 31, 2012, declining each year to zero at the end of the final contract year.

Assuming no early termination of the contract, the fixed and determinable portion of the remaining obligations under this agreement are $42 million annually in 2013 and 2014. These obligations can vary
annually up to a certain level for changes in the Consumer Price Index or for a significant increase in our medical/surgical distribution business. Additionally, the service fees under this contract can vary to the extent additional services are
provided by the vendor which are not covered by the negotiated base fees, or as a result of reduction in services that were included in these base fees. We paid $52.5 million, $48.4 million, and $46.6 million under this contract in 2012, 2011, and
2010. We have recorded approximately $5.2 million of capital lease assets associated with this outsourcing contract.

We have
a contractual commitment to the partner in our joint venture in China to purchase a minimum dollar value of products in 2016. The maximum penalty which we would incur if we do not fulfill this commitment is $1 million.

We have entered into non-cancelable agreements to lease most of our office and warehouse facilities with remaining terms generally
ranging from one to 20 years. Certain leases include renewal options, generally for five-year increments. We also lease most of our transportation and material handling equipment for terms generally ranging from five to eight years. At
December 31, 2012, future minimum annual payments under non-cancelable lease agreements with original terms in excess of one year, and including payments required under operating leases for facilities we have vacated, are as follows:

Rent expense for all operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, was
$60.9 million, $56.3 million, and $55.3 million.

We have contractual obligations that are required to be paid to customers in
the event that certain contractual performance targets are not achieved as of specified dates, generally within 36 months from inception of the contract. These contingent obligations total $3.0 million as of December 31, 2012. If none of the
performance targets are met as of the specified dates, and customers have met their contractual commitments, payments will be due as follows: 2013$2.1 million; 2014$0.1 million; and 2015$0.7 million. None of these contingent
obligations were accrued at December 31, 2012, as we do not consider any of them probable. We deferred the recognition of fees that are contingent upon our future performance under the terms of these contracts. As of December 31, 2012,
$1.4 million of deferred revenue related to outstanding contractual performance targets is included in other current liabilities.

The state of California is continuing its administrative review of certain ongoing local sales tax incentives that may be available to us. Upon completion of this review, we could potentially receive tax
incentive payments for all or some of the quarterly periods beginning with the first quarter of 2009. The exact amount, if any, is dependent upon a number of factors, including the timing of negotiation and execution of certain customer agreements,
collection of amounts from the parties involved, the variability in sales and our operations in California. The estimated potential payment we may receive (and related contingent gain) for prior periods could be up to $7 million.

Prior to exiting the direct-to-consumer business in January 2009, we received reimbursements from Medicare, Medicaid, and private
healthcare insurers for certain customer billings. We are subject to audits of these reimbursements for up to seven years from the date of the service.

In connection with the Movianto acquisition, we entered into transition services agreements
with the former owner under which it provides certain information technology and support services. The contract terms range from six to 24 months and are cancellable without penalty with thirty days notice. The maximum aggregate fees payable in 2013
under these agreements is approximately $6 million.

Note 19Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal actions that are ordinary and incidental to our business, including contract disputes,
employment, workers compensation, product liability, regulatory and other matters. We have insurance coverage for employment, product liability, workers compensation and other personal injury litigation matters, subject to policy limits,
applicable deductibles and insurer solvency. We establish reserves from time to time based upon periodic assessment of the potential outcomes of pending matters.

Based on current knowledge and the advice of counsel, we believe that the accrual as of December 31, 2012 for currently pending matters considered probable of loss, which is not material, is
sufficient. In addition, we believe that other currently pending matters are not reasonably likely to result in a material loss, as either the claims are insignificant, individually and in the aggregate, or are expected to be adequately covered by
insurance.

Note 20Segment Information

We periodically evaluate our application of accounting guidance for reportable segments and disclose information about
reportable segments based on the way management organizes the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. As a result of the August 31, 2012 acquisition of Movianto, we now report Movianto as a separate International
business segment. Prior to the acquisition, we had one reportable business segment, which now comprises the Domestic segment. Accordingly, the Domestic segment now includes all services in the United States relating to our role as a medical supply
logistics company serving healthcare providers and manufacturers.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on the
operating earnings of our segments excluding acquisition-related, exit and realignment, and pension settlement charges.

The following tables present information by geographic area. Net revenues were attributed to
geographic areas based on the locations from which we ship products or provide services. International operations consist of Moviantos operations in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and other European countries.

Note 21Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information for: Owens & Minor, Inc.; the
guarantors of Owens & Minor, Inc.s Senior Notes, on a combined basis; and the non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Senior Notes, on a combined basis. The guarantor subsidiaries are 100% owned by Owens & Minor, Inc. Separate
financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because the guarantees by our guarantor subsidiaries are full and unconditional, as well as joint and several, and we believe the condensed consolidating financial information is
more meaningful in understanding the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the guarantor subsidiaries.
